J.J. Whitley Violet Gin, 70cl

Product Information

Even though the violet gin is a bit sweeter due to the added violets combined with orange and lavender, you still get that great gin-specific piney juniper taste with this gin. From an ever-so-appealing Battenberg cake to a traditional Bakewell tart; it’s easy to see a pattern emerging with a selection of gins that perfectly encapsulate the recognisable flavours of British treats. The addition of violet to this gin makes for an even more vibrant floral scent and taste. There are also hints of apple and lavender notes on the taste pallet. Playing host? Our range of flavoured gins is sure to get the party started. Whether you prefer a classic dry gin or want to add some colour with pink gin, we’ve got a wide variety to choose from. Just some of the flavours we offer include summery strawberry, peach and mango.

Due to the fact that there are so many different botanicals to choose from, a new craze arose in the gin market over the past few years. The popularity of fruity and colorful gins like pink gin and blood orange gin has increased a ton recently. The Steampunk Explorer range of flavoured gins is quite unique because it has been distilled specifically for B&M. Three different flavours have been brought to us by Steampunk Spirits, but their Steampunk Explorer Blood Orange Gin is one of our personal favourites. This gin should be served traditionally in a gin and tonic. The tonic tones down the heat of the peppery flavors this gin brings and makes for an amazing but stronger version of a gin and tonic compared to others on this list.
